CRFS
Encyclopedia
CRFS is a network file system
protocol by Zach Brown formerly of Oracle
intended to leverage the Btrfs
architecture to gain higher performance than existing protocols (such as NFS and CIFS) and to expose Btrfs
features such as snapshots to remote clients. The code is unmaintained.
If one is looking for a network file system on top of Btrfs
, there are a number of options available, which are under active support and development, including Ceph
(unstable as of April 2011), FhGFS
, and GlusterFS
.
